Placing QIeaf in the ear
Put the end of the soft tip with the dome(s)
loosely in the ear. The pull cord is situated
behind the tragus, directing towards the nose.
Insert the device into the ear by pressing on
the flat side of the device. Now gently push
the device deeper into the ear. If the mouth is
opened wide, insertion will be easier.

Inserting a new soft tip can be a bit bothersome
because the surface of a new soft tip is somewhat
rigid and as a result of the fact that some ears are
quite 'dry'. Using some lubricant gel or creme can
help in these cases (a tiny amount is sufficient).
N.b.: Note that the lubricant does not clog the
sound opening!
tragus
Ideally, the flat side of the module (where the
microphone is situated) will be flush to the entry
of the ear canal after insertion. In this way, the
device is practically invisible and the sound
optimal. There are cases where the ear canal is
too small: In that case, it is possible for the device
to protrude a few millimetres.
If the pull cord protrudes after the insertion of
the device, after which it becomes visible, it can
be easily custom-cut by the dispenser.
Make sure your hands are clean while inserting
the QIeaf. Make-up, creme, body oil, gel, hairspray
and likewise products can dirty up the module and
can, for example, contribute to the clogging of the
microphone opening.
Removing Qleaffrom the ear
Hold the pull cord firmly and pull it- always
slowly - out of the ear.
Fitting procedure and
configuration
The fitting procedure and configuration of
the hearing aid is both an important and
individual process. For this reason, consult your
dispenser for any complaints about the fitting or

person to carry out any necessary modifications.
